The limited edition Beatrix Potter coins were issued by Royal Mint to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Beatrix Potter in 2016 and both a plain silver proof coin and a coloured coin were introduced into circulation.

Demand for the coloured coins has skyrocketed however with the coins being auctioned for hundreds of pounds on Ebay. Some sellers have reportedly been lucky enough to sell their coloured coins for thousands online.
